Visiting lecture: Towards new catalyst and reactor structures – what to do?

Professor Tapio Salmi, Doctor Honoris Causa at the University of Oulu, is a researcher in the field of chemical reaction engineering. He works as a Professor of Chemical Reaction Technology at Åbo Akademi University.

During the years 2009-2013 and 2019-2023 he has served as an Academy Professor appointed by the Research Council of Finland, i.e., the former Academy of Finland.

Professor Salmi’s research focuses especially on chemical engineering phenomena, reaction kinetics and catalysis as well as on intensification of chemical reactions, reactor design, and innovative biomass refining. He is an active supervisor of doctoral students.

Professor Salmi has done an impressive career in catalysis and reactor design research and has actively collaborated with researchers at the University of Oulu having, thus, an enormous and long-lasting impact on our researcher education in chemical engineering, including reactor engineering and catalysis.
